​

What to pack

  • Completed mandatory health and shooting-sports forms (links at bottom of column 2 on this page)

  • Warm Sleeping Bags

  • A name-labeled, reusable water bottle

  • Toothbrush, toothpaste

  • Personal medications

  • Warm winter coat, snow-pants/bibs and warm base-layer shirt and leggings/pants. Dress in layers; prepare for weather that is colder and wetter than forecasted (Be Prepared!).

  • Two pairs of mitten/gloves, two beanies/stocking hats and six pairs of wools socks -- If it snows, every item of outwear your Scout wears outside will likely get soaked. So it's best to bring two of everything (excluding wool socks -- bring 4 to 6 pair per Scout, if possible), so you can always have one set/pair drying out while the other set/pair is in use. Your Scout will be much more comfortable (and safer in really frigid conditions), if he/she always has dry clothes and outerwear.

  • Snow boots suitable for hiking (We will hike in den groups to every activity; for the youngest kids, the distances can often feel long)

  • Head Lamp/Light or Flashlight with a wrist lanyard

  • Books, comics, etc. for reading in bed before Lights Out

  • Card games, board games, role-playing games

  • Adults may bring cell phones


What NOT to pack

  • Scouts should NOT bring a Pocket knife (even Scouts who have already earned their Whittlin' Chip cards). We don't whittle at Winter Camp.

  • Scouts should NOT bring electronic devices and games 

  • Scouts should NOT bring extra food (we will have plenty!)

​

General Information​

  • Arrive no earlier than 5:30 p.m. Friday. Check-out at 9 a.m. Sunday.

  • If you will not be there the full time, please specify when registering, so this can be taken into consideration for meal planning. Multiple Camp Packages are available, at pro-rated prices -- Click HERE to learn more

  • Pack 1 Scouts may invite siblings

  • Meals and dishes/cutlery will be provided, but parents/guardians will be expected to help with cooking/serving and dishes/cleaning.

  • Scouts should arrive at, and leave from, camp in their Scout uniforms, but you can leave neckerchiefs and slides at home, so they don't get lost.

  • Toliet paper is provided by the camp, but it's never a bad idea to bring a back-up roll from home, just in case. Be Prepared!
     

Required Paperwork:

  • Parents of Scouts who are not coming themselves must complete a permission slip, available below. Please fill it out completely and make sure that it is given to the adult driving your Scout to Camp. (Not required for Scouts whose parents are attending.)

  • You must complete a Health Form and bring it with you to camp. Health forms are valid for one year and available at: Health Form (Short Term Medical Record)
